Yesterday morning we finally fixed what ailed the drum carder or I should say I fixed it even though I had enlisted The Mister to help me. While he was downstairs looking for some tools, I read the directions and made the simple correction that moved the two rollie things away from each other. The new poly cord fit perfectly so it was all back in business. The Mister was interested in trying it out so I let him make a blended batt using my Merino stash.

Wednesday WIPs
I'm not sure how it happened but I've got a lot of socks all needing their heels turned at the same time including the handspun one that I did not include in this post. I also finished the sock with the afterthought heel and started the second one this week.

Tiny Needle Tuesday
I'm not kidding when I say it takes me until Sunday to feel like myself again after our two day baby sitting adventure. We're off to do some sitting again today. All that really cuts into my stitching time but I did manage to finish all the white background on this last row.
On Sunday I sat down for the first time all week at my sewing table and worked on Dear Jane, some Patchwork crosses and a bit of needlepoint. A good listen helps. I had a Dateline podcast and the end of the latest Stephen King audiobook to keep me going. There's nothing like a good murder to keep you glued to your seat.

Joyeux 14 Juillet!
That's Happy Bastille Day in French. It also happens to be our wedding anniversary. This was my gift. I told The Mister I needed a new whisk after my old one had rusted and this is what he came home with.
The new one is this Day of the Dead looking thing that he picked out because he says it reminds him of me. Sigh. Sounds about right.

Send In the Clowns
It was too hot to manage the Farmer's Market again yesterday so Pup and I waited in the shade while The Mister picked up some things.

These Crocs are Made for Walking
I'm happy to report that I was able to take a brisk knit walk around the kitchen last night for thirty whole minutes to some peppy music. Plantar Facitis has kept me on the couch for what seems like an eternity but now I'm pretty much pain free-for walking. Dancing....hmmm. Maybe not yet.
